Dried Whole Chipotle chile pods - Chilpotle - Chipotles

El Sol de Mexico Dried Chile Chipotle Chili Pods can be used whole to give flavor to stews, soups or in the braising liquid for meats! Chipotle chiles have a smoky flavor and definitive heat that makes them unique. If they are pureed or soaked they would go perfectly with sauces!! Use Chipotles to flavor salsas, soups, sauces, stews and even an occasional dessert. In order for the Chipotle chiles to last and hold their flavor for up to a year, store in airtight container such as a plastic ziplock bag or Tupperware in a cool, dry and dark location. Heat and Light take away the flavor of the chipotles, while moisture spoils them. To use in most recipes, make sure to cover the chiles in cool water in a bowl for 20 minutes to hydrate.

Used these for chili used in tamales and menudo. A little on the mild side, but can be spiced up with crushed chili peppers, also from this site. They were still pliable, not as dry as the ones you find at the store, making them easier to process.
